It's hard for me to enjoy books written from the perspective of a character who, for the entire book, has no clue what's going on.

3 stars, average

I didn't finish this book. I made it through the first 1/4, but I got tired of Frey's whining and tantrums.

Amazing!!!

Best book I’ve read in a while. I’m in love with Frey and her story, it certainly puts your feelings through the ringer.

I’ve just been introduced to a world of Elves, Fairies, Imps.. and I couldn’t be happier.

Can’t wait for the best book.

Freya is 100% badass.

Let me start off by saying that this is about an Elf, Frey is an elf which actually took me half the book to figure out. I had my suspicious, but in literature, anyone can do magic. Now that you know this, you can enjoy the review. Frey was a cute likable character who was super naive about who she is and the path that she is on. She also has no idea what she is capable of which is great because you can feel her wonder and amazement as she discovers new things about herself.


I liked how Wright slowly reveals Frey's history and the history of her family as she went on this journey. Even though the page count seemed intimidating, it was a really quick read once I really settled down to read it. I also really enjoyed the addition of Rhys and Rider who were raised by wolves and now worked with them for protection. (I see what you did there Wright, Romulus and Remus. I totally approve).


I also enjoyed the tension added by Steed and Chevelle both hinting that they were interested in Frey, although something tells me that there is more to Chevelle and Frey's relationship and she just doesn't know it yet. I do have to say from the cast of characters, Ruby, the part Elf, part Fairie, red haired flame was my favorite. She seemed to be the caring of everyone that was involved. Even if Frey didn't like her, I could tell that they would be friends eventually.

I fell like this took me till around the 60% mark for me to actually be interested in it. There plot feels quite bitty and that's not something I usually enjoy in a book. I rated it three stars as i feel like the last 40% did pick up a bit and became a bit more interesting. I dont think i will continue on with the series though

It was alright, nothing special. I got if for free though, and who says no to a free book?

Jumpy. Doesn't read smoothly. Also the heroine is really stupid and doesn't know how to ask questions. Also I thought it was really stupid that no one would give her any answers. Yeah, let's all keep her own identity from her. That's a good idea. She's too stupid to handle it. Whatever. Not done, and I'm interested enough to want to finish, but I find the whole dynamic between her and everyone around her really annoying.
